Abstract

This study aims to find out the meaning of the word "al-waliy" and its derivation in the Qur'an. The method used is a qualitative-descriptive with the Literature approach and uses semantic theory. The word al-waliy and its derivation are repeated in the Koran 213 times with details: the form of the verb (al-fi'l) 94 places, and the form of the noun (al-ism) 119 places. The word al-waliy is mentioned in the Qur'an with various meanings (homonym). The meaning that is most widely mentioned, in order, is helper (al-nashir) and ally (al-halif), then idols (al-shanam wa al-watsan) and gods besides Allah, and then the close meaning in the descendants (relatives or family) (al-qarib fi al-nasab) heirs, friends and children (al-walad). Apart from that, the most important thing in this context is that the word al-waliy is very closely related to the theme of the faith. This is because the loyalty of a believer is only aimed at Allah, the only, not to anyone.
